Frozen Toes

It rained all day yesterday.  I did stretching and yoga in the house.  It rained this morning.  I was running in shorts three days ago.  Today I was back to winter running clothes.  Since we had a lot of rain I decided it best to run on asphalt.  Jim suggested parking at Home Depot and running those trails.  I suggested Rock Hollow.  He said,"But we would have to run up that big hill".  I told him it was training and that was the idea.  In the end I told him he could decide.  He chose Rock Hollow because it was windy and that trail is more protected.  We still felt the wind chill.  There were places that a small creek was running down the trail.  Our feet were soaked.  I usually wear Smartwool socks when I know my feet will get wet but I didn't think they the asphalt trail would be wet.  I didn't have me Goretex shoes on.  My feet were very cold.  I took the run easy.

Two days until the Frozen Feet Half Marathon.  It will be very cold on Saturday.  Jim still has not committed to the race but he didn't wear his warmest running tights today because he is saving them for Saturday.
